I had a similar experience with ketamine. I accidentally did a line that was a little too long and k-holed for the first time. During the trip I convinced myself I went insane and that I would have had to live the rest of my life inside the mind of an insane person, with no chance to ever experience the outside world again. But I was ok with that, I was like “well, it happened. Nothing I can do about it. I just got to roll with it now” lol. Then I snapped out of it. Never touched ketamine that weekend again, but the following week I wanted to repeat the experience.

Ketamine is not a psychedelic but a khole can make you experience stuff that maybe only DMT can. Illusion of timelessness, lack of physical dimensions, absence of linearity in time and space, it’s something I’ve only been able to experience during my first k-holes

It’s not an easy job. You’re constantly moving weights (the truck lifts the garbage bin, but moving a 120 lt bin full of garbage from its spot to the truck and back is not easy either). When your friends are done with their workday, it’s time for you to go to bed. You have to work with bad weather, because trash bins must be emptied no matter what. I work in the IT of the company that does the garbage collection in my area. My colleagues are not very enthusiast of their job, lol. But it’s a stable job, at least. Pay is decent, but I wouldn’t call it good. In other countries though, people doing the same job are getting paid better than in Italy

that’s how my parents call me, yeah

I’ve just tried to sign up from Firefox 122 and it worked. No captcha or other kinds of anti-bot puzzle to solve

Camera: GrapheneOS’s camera app. Have been my camera of choice ever since I’ve discovered it. Never had an issue, offers all the basic features you would expect from a camera

Tried to open that webpage but godaddy asks me if I want to buy the domain. Typo?

At the time I knew what the fediverse was and I was using Mastodon quite consistently, and I was waiting for a federated alternative to reddit. Raddle at the time was already a thing, but federation was not on their roadmap.

As per how I found it… here’s a comment from four years ago :)

just lemmy eheh unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to witness the birth of the internet

The “extend” part is fundamental before they can actually get to the “extinguish” stage: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Once Meta joins in, a new set of dynamics are going to develop between old fediverse uses and new meta/fediverse users. If Meta adopts an “EEE” approach such as the ones described in the article, there’s going to be disruption in the user experience from which the fediverse might never fully recover

Edit: clarification on the last sentence, my main concern is that a growing niche protocol such as ActivityPub might be destined to irrelevancy after Meta is done with the Extend & Extinguish, similarly to what happened to XMPP

same :)

Every time I see this picture I cannot avoid to think to that time someone posted it in r/anarchocapitalism ironically captioned “the world if roads aren’t built by the state”

It was only a matter of time before alt-right instances championing “free speech” started to pop out - this is the first one I hear about, I was expecting them to adopt Lemmy earlier

Our World in Data’s source article

Also a couple of other studies I bookmarked some time ago about land usage/habitat loss and animal agriculture:

• Global habitat loss and extinction risk of terrestrial vertebrates under future land-use-change scenarios
• Ecosystem decay exacerbates biodiversity loss with habitat loss
• Land use for animal production in global change studies: Defining and characterizing a framework - I have yet to start to read it but a friend of mine who usually passes me some good sources said this one is quite interesting so I’ll just post it here anyway

The first two Nature links are paywalled but I am sure I have the pdf laying around somewhere in my pc. I will link them as soon as I find them

Someone mentioned it on Reddit and on Riot -I don’t remember in what subreddit or room- while talking about federated alternatives to Reddit. Came here, saw the Github, lurked a bit. Looks an interesting project and I can’t wait for federation to come!
